    I don’t see anamorphic in FCP ….

    Posted by Fredy Schwerdtner on July 18, 2009 at 4:30 am

    First, sorry for my newbie question.
    I edited 10 short movies recorded as DVCAM NTSC Anamorphic, I set the timeline as DV NTSC Anamorphic and exported all as QT to be compressed to DVDs and to a website.
    Now the client ask me to edit a trailer of them.
    I did not know if I should do it from the original footage captured and then I’ve decided to import the “final QT edited movies” to a new file and re-edit it to the trailer. What a surprise that the imported QT does not show anamorphic in the Viewer !
    Why does it happens ?

    Thanks in advance.

    After you imported the clip did you set the anamorphic flag?

    All the best,
